This Equality, Diversity and Inclusion course explains what the law expects of individuals in terms of preventing discrimination and harassment based on the nine protected characteristics, but it also empowers you to do the right thing, to give everyone the same opportunities and to ensure everyone has a sense of belonging, whoever and wherever they might be.

Equality - treating everyone fairly - diversity - appreciating people's uniqueness - and inclusion - encouraging everyone to retain their uniqueness - are vital components of workplaces and societies everywhere, so understanding how to promote them is essential for all employees.

If you work in the Health & Social Care sector then our Equality and Diversity in Health and Social Care Training might be more suitable for your needs.

We had previously had a full day of talks (...) but these, although interesting and insightful, did not really cover our needs and were too long to keep everyone’s interest. We needed training where everyone could access the same information in their own time and which could also be accessed by new recruits as and when required.

How do I access the training?

All of our training is done within your web browser - there are no apps to download or software to install.

After picking the courses you need and completing your purchase, you will receive a confirmation email.

You will then be able to add the course(s) into an existing account, or create a new account.


Can I buy training for my team?

Of course just add the amount of courses you need and follow the purchase process. Please do be aware that it is one course per learner so they will all need their own course.

When buying courses for a team you'll also get access to our Management Suite free of charge. This is a tool that will allow you to allocate, track and review the training of your team.
